   LOCK PIN INSTALLED CORRECTLY

LOCK PIN HINGE

 

NOTE:  Ensure the lock pins and tines are correctly  installed.  Lock pins must be installed so that the pin enters the hole in the 

tine from the front of the tiller, and so the wire bale hinges over the top of the tine pipe and latches to the protruding pin on 

the back side of the tine. Tines can inadvertently  detach during tilling if lock pins are not installed correctly!
